NATO Intervention in Syria Imminent

The US and NATO are set to invade Syria,
something many of us have been warning about for a while now. It has
been obvious that they have been looking for a pretext and that pretext
has already been injected into the public debate.

Reports claimed Assad readied it in bombs. No evidence whatever was cited.

They're ready to go but haven't been loaded on
planes, said an unnamed US official. Pentagon spokesman George Little
said "any consideration of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian
regime would be unacceptable."

I think there is no question that we remain
very concerned, very concerned that as the opposition advances, in
particular on Damascus, that the regime might very well consider the use
of chemical weapons. The intelligence that we have causes serious
concerns that this is being considered.

The
president of the United States has made very clear there will be
consequences, there will be consequences if the Assad regime makes a
terrible mistake by using these chemical weapons on their own people.

Syria stresses again, for the 10th, the 100th
time, that if we had such weapons, they would not be used against our
people. We would not commit suicide.

The alleged Syrian
chemical weapons threat replicates bogus allegations about Saddam's
nonexistent WMDs. It's similar to falsified claims about Gaddafi, the
Taliban, and numerous other invented US enemies.

Big Lies launch wars. In The Art of War, Sun
Tzu said "All war is based on deception." It's true now like in ancient
times. Instant global communications, super-weapons, and scoundrel
media complicity make today's threat especially ominous.

It suggests US-led NATO intervention could happen any time. More than ever it looks imminent.

On December 7, Syria Deeply
headlined "EXCLUSIVE: US Trains Rebel Brigades to Secure Chemical
Weapons," saying that Washington and NATO allies "hired contractors" to
train opposition Syrian mercenaries. Four unnamed diplomats, including a
US official, said exercises are ongoing in Turkey and Jordan.

Obama and Clinton said using them crosses a "red line." Washington would respond.

On December 7, Hillary Clinton urged all parties involved to make a
"concerted push" to resolve the Syrian conflict. Perhaps imminent
intervention was hinted.

France's Le Figero said French military advisers met with opposition
fighters inside Syria. So have US and UK elements. At issue is assessing
operational capabilities of different groups and choosing which ones
get weapons.

On December 4, NATO foreign ministers met in Brussels. They expressed
solidarity with Turkey. They agreed to deter any potential threat Ankara
faces. There's none, but they suggested otherwise.

Sources close to the French Defense Ministry
(said intervention) is due to begin shortly with the participation of
the US, France, Britain, Turkey, Jordan and other anti-Assad Arab
nations.

France deployed the aircraft carrier Charles De
Gaulle in the Mediterranean. Combat marines are on board. Britain has at
least five warships nearby. They've joined Washington's battle group.

In November, British and French forces "performed landing-and-capture
exercises against fortified locations on the coast and mountains of
Albania as practice for potential operations against similar terrain in
Syria, where the Alawite Mountains loom over the coastal towns of
Latakia and Tartus."

French sources told Le Point magazine that the
NATO mission for Syria, including the UK and the US, would be modeled
on the Western intervention in Libya in 2011.

It
would combine an aerial blitz with ground action by special forces for
destroying Assad’s chemical weapons stocks, his air force and his air
defense systems.

Apparently winds of war have reached gale force. Expect full-scale
intervention any time. It could come before or right after Christmas and
New Year's.

A previous article called today perhaps the most perilous time in world history. Daily events should scare everyone.

Possible regional or global war looms. Disastrous consequences could
follow. Obama may head humanity into the abyss. Perhaps there's no way
to stop him.
